The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) today recommended a standard to help handheld computers and smartphones communicate with Web servers about displaying content.
The schema, the Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (CC/PP 1.0), is a system for expressing device features and user preferences using the Resource Description Framework (RDF), a spec that makes Web applications work with Web servers.
Dude! That totally rocks! Why haven’t I heard about this before?
Full details can be found at Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0, the full reccommendation released today. The full press release is also available.
It’s going to take some time for me to digest all of this, but it strikes me as A Good Thing. Maybe I can ask edd, danbri, or the other RDF-enabled #foaf citizens what they think about it at ETech.
